Some are intimidated by girls 5'9" and up, usually because tall women (and well, women in general) have a major dealbreaker about not dating guys same height or shorter than them. So for *most* guys, if a girl is taller than them, then yeah, they may not bother to even approach them, cause it's a near guarantee (96%, specifically) she will reject him for being "too short," no matter what he does. That's just how women are. Not sure if I'd call that "intimidation," as not wasting time with someone who statistically has no interest in you for not being taller than her.
However, I'm different, though. I'm short, so I don't want to be with a short girl, cause it makes me feel even worse about my own height, like I'm "settling for the best I could get" being with some small 5'5" chick. But if a tall girl loves me, I know it's real. Cause some might claim she's "downgrading" by being with a guy under six feet. So I'm mainly attracted to taller girls; 5'10" and over, though I'd go down to 5'8" if she likes to wear heels. Because I definitely don't want to be part of a "short couple," and a tall girl choosing me means the attraction is more genuine than a short girl choosing me as a consolation prize because I'm "not over six feet, but taller than [her], so I guess you'll do." If my lame 71-inch ass can't be tall, then at least she should be!

I don't think it's an issue of intimidation. I think it's simply avoiding these women in terms of dating. I live in the country with the tallest people on earth. You're bound to find many tall women here too. Many who are shorter, but also many who are taller than yourself. I never felt intimidated by the taller women. I've actually dated some.

And dating wise, if a guy won't go out with you because your tall then be happy that an asshole avoided you. The best relationships are with the people who you enjoy the most. people who sacrifice that based on looks or race or sexuality are stupida tall girl doesn't intimidate me, I am 6'6" by the way, If i met a girl my height i'd probably either be in love or be worried that they might be a bit too big and might be having problems in life.
Not at all. My ex was a few inches taller than me. Couldn't care less.

I'm not into tall women. I'm a tall guy at 6' 2" and I go for shorter women at less than 5' 5".
I'm not at all intimidated by tall girls. I just don't understand why someone would be.
How tall we talking? I'm 6'7, everything 6'5 and down is the same to me. Otherwise I would probably be surprised.
I find tall girls very hot and attractive, what is your height?
I am 5.11 so I hardly meet girls taller than me.
